I had three internal server errors, when trying to post this. So it might be about time to do this. My only concern is that all the oldbies will lose their prestige-awarding member numbers, and instead be grouped together with all the forum trash that has registered in the latter half of the '00s.

Don't forget postcounts.

Hopefully the forum importer will be able to keep everything from the current boards. If not, I have to question what, exactly, makes UBB worth the effort. —Alorael, who supposes he could step up his posting if required. He'd really rather not, though. Spamming is so 2002. Also, if PDN changes aren't possible, he will be excruciatingly miffed. Posts: 14579 | Registered: Saturday, December 1 2001 08:00 |

So, is there any more specific information on when the change will occur, or will we one day just find that these message boards have shut down and been replaced? quote:What does he have to do with anything? -------------------- ISE count - 7 Blank Page Count - 1 Posts: 2686 | Registered: Friday, September 8 2006 07:00 |

Considering how quickly the current web board is decaying under the assault of the spam-bots, the upgrade will probably happen sooner rather than later. Hopefully in the next 1-2 months. And we will give plenty of advance warning. - Jeff Vogel -------------------- Official Board Admin spidweb@spiderwebsoftware.com Posts: 960 | Registered: Tuesday, September 18 2001 07:00 |

You know the admins will take all the cool new member numbers for themselves. Aran and Alorael will probably get nice ones too since they have so much on the admins. It seems like the upgrade may not change that much. Although it would be nice to delete the thousands of bots that have joined recently. Posts: 4643 | Registered: Friday, February 10 2006 08:00 |

These are, as I've said, good news. But Excalibur, why did you link to the CoC in that first post? I don't see anything there, and that's after running the manual refresh on my mirror... May this transfer be blessed by the patron saints of BBS: May the transition be seamless, the downtime minimal, the user accounts preserved with all their posts. Amen. PPP? Well, depending on what happens, it will either begin mirroring the new forum without missing a beat (if everything is transferred without a hitch) or it will be closed forever as the UBB archive, leaving a new site to take up the job once the new board has to be pruned (which it will unless Jeff gets a new server too...). If the content doesn't get carried over, mingling the forums together in the archive would be untidy. Posts: 8752 | Registered: Wednesday, May 14 2003 07:00 |

vbulletin allows /baleet. It shows the post structure, but not the contents. Contents that are quoted elsewhere are also suppressed.
